Hurkacz Halts In-Form Rublev In Rome

Spoiler:

Pole to face Schwartzman in third round

Hubert Hurkacz entered the Internazionali BNL d'Italia seeking back-to-back ATP Tour wins for the first time since January. The Pole achieved that feat on Thursday, beating US Open quarter-finalist Andrey Rublev 7-6(6), 3-6, 6-2.

Following his first-round win against Daniel Evans, Hurkacz landed 15 aces and saved four of six break points to reach the third round in Rome on his tournament debut. The 23-year-old improves to 12-8 this year, having started 2020 with a 6-0 record.

Hurkacz made a quick start on Grand Stand Arena, attacking Rublev’s backhand to earn a 3-1 lead. Despite failing to serve out the set at 5-3, the World No. 31 held his nerve in the tie-break and claimed the opener when Rublev struck a forehand error.

Rublev responded well in the second set, playing with forehand aggression into his opponent’s backhand to claim the only break in the second game. But Hurkacz played with variety to outmanoeuvre Rublev in the early stages of the deciding set and attacked with his backhand in crucial moments to advance to the third round after one hour and 57 minutes.

Hurkacz will face eighth seed Diego Schwartzman for a place in the quarter-finals. Hurkacz rallied from a set down to win his only previous ATP Head2Head clash against the Argentine at the ATP Cup in January.

Schwartzman advanced to the third round in Rome with a 6-4, 7-6(1) victory against John Millman. Last year’s semi-finalist saved a set point at 4-5 in the second set and turned it up a notch in the ensuing tie-break. Schwartzman reeled off seven straight points to move one win away from his fourth straight clay-court quarter-final this season.

The Argentine reached the Cordoba Open final and the Argentina Open semi-finals in February, before a leg injury ruled him out of remaining South American events in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago. Following a first-round exit at the US Open, he returned to clay last week when he fell to Laslo Djere in the quarter-finals of the Generali Open in Kitzbühel.

Hurkacz Makes Late Surge To Claim Cologne Win

Spoiler:

Struff beaten in straight sets

Hubert Hurkacz made a winning start to his bett1HULKS Indoors campaign on Monday, beating lucky loser Marc Polmans 6-2, 7-5 in Cologne.

The sixth seed, who recovered from 1-5 down in the second set, converted five of 10 break points to book his place in the second round. Hurkacz improves to 13-10 this year after claiming victory in his first ATP Head2Head contest against the Australian.

“Marc is a really good player. He started the second set well, we had a couple of close games that could have gone either way,” said Hurkacz. “I was trying to come in a little bit more, especially when it was 1-5. I tried to risk a bit more and it paid off. I gained some momentum and kept myself in the set until the end.”

After recovering from 1-5 to reach 5-5, Hurkacz did not wrap up his first-round win with ease. The Pole came out on the losing side of what will likely be considered the point of the tournament at the end of the week. Hurkacz showed incredible court coverage to extend a thrilling rally, hitting two tweeners before Polmans eventually claimed the point with a forehand volley.

“I was disappointed with that rally," said Hurkacz. "I was running side-to-side for 35 seconds. I really wanted to win this one, but Marc played an amazing point. He deserved to win that one.”


Hurkacz will face German wild card Mischa Zverev for a spot in the quarter-finals. The 33-year-old broke John Millman on six occasions to earn a 6-1, 6-4 win after 78 minutes.

Playing in his hometown, qualifier Oscar Otte upset seventh seed Jan-Lennard Struff 6-4, 6-3. The World No. 142 won 63 per cent of second-serve return points (19/30) to book a meeting with Radu Albot. The Moldovan needed just over two hours to overcome Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.

Steve Johnson recovered from a set down to beat fifth seed Filip Krajinovic 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. The American saved seven of nine break points and will meet Kyle Edmund or Lloyd Harris in the second round. Dennis Novak also claimed a first-round win, beating Jordan Thompson 6-3 6-3.

Tenis. Sądne dni ws. Australian Open. Turniej może zostać przełożony
Najlepszy aktualnie polski tenisista, Hubert Hurkacz, zakończył już sezon 2020. W rankingu ATP 23-letni "Hubi" plasuje się na 34. miejscu (więcej szczegółów TUTAJ).
W rozmowie z Polską Agencją Prasową Hurkacz docenił sukces Igi Świątek, która w tym roku nieoczekiwanie wygrała turniej wielkoszlemowy French Open. 19-letnia Polka dokonała tego w wielkim stylu (bez straty seta), podbijając serca fanów tenisa ziemnego na całym świecie.



Okazuje się, że dla Hurkacza również było to bardzo ważne zwycięstwo. - Pokazała (Świątek - przyp. red.), że wywalczenie tytułu wielkoszlemowego jest możliwe, gdy nie jest się faworytem. To coś fantastycznego. I jest to motywujące również dla mnie - podkreślił wrocławianin dla PAP.

Hurkacz aktualnie wypoczywa po sezonie. Plan przygotowań zakłada wyjazd na obóz w Zakopanem, gdzie będzie pracować nad przygotowaniem fizycznym, a ok. 10 grudnia czeka go wylot do Australii. Na Antypodach będzie szlifować formę przed startem nowego sezonu 2021.

Na początku listopada Hurkacz i Felix Auger-Aliassime z Kanady wygrali turniej debla halowych zawodów ATP Masters 1000 na kortach twardych w Paryżu. "Ale fajnie. Gratulacje!" - skomentowała na Twitterze Świątek.
